“Great Experiance and Ready for Another Go - Coeur D'Alene, ID”
Young in CDA
Not Sure
Spent: $2,750 in Coeur D'Alene

Posted 27 Aug 2011
I scheduled a CoolSculpting procedure on the 25th of August. Since it has been only three days I can't write about the results but I will write about my experience.
I signed up for a package deal (4 treatment areas and they were running a special). I had three areas worked on this past Thursday and already have my 4th scheduled in three weeks when I have my follow up.
The first area treated was my lower abdomen. They applied a medium applicator. When they put it on my I couldn't help but laugh...I am kind of ticklish but I think I was more laughing due to the odd sensation. It did not hurt. It just felt like a lot of pressure or when you take a cup or a suction and give yourself a hickey when you were in middle school.
I did sneeze during the procedure and that is the only time that I felt pain. It felt like a mixture between bad bad cramping and numbness. I did three areas. My abdomen and both flanks. They only time that it did feel uncomfortable during the procedure was between 2-5 minutes after the suction was taken off. Thankfully, it passed after the 5 minutes.
Right now three days later I have some scattered pinprick bruising and my stomach has the same feeling as when you lay on your arm and it falls asleep.
Oh also I went for a 3 mile run 2 hours after the procedure, no pain medicine. I am so happy.

My rating:
They were friendly, and offered me an I-pad that I could play games or watch movies on while the procedure was occurring. They checked in often but not so much that I couldn't relax. I never had to wait more than 5 minutes and the payment was straight forward and easy.

Thanks for sharing your experience so far. I hope it turns out well for you. Please keep us posted!
Good point, markychv. I've marked it "Not Sure" for now, since there are still some treatments left to do.
